Tomorrow morning, I'll be taking a 2-3 hour trip to a children's hospital on the west side of the state. Andrew is having an MRI. We're hoping that this will finally give us some answers. The neurologist suggested that we get this done to rule out some of the possible issues. If it is a … Continue reading A Simple Request

“You’ve Got Mail!”
You may remember me mentioning my kids painting with colored ice recently. I was surprised this week when a "postcard" arrived for me. He had a bit of help from mommy, but his message warmed my heart. He calls me "Big Fella" all the time now. The kids on Bluey called their dad that once … Continue reading “You’ve Got Mail!”
Fourth – Family – Fireworks
As the holiday weekend draws to a close, I hope you got the chance to enjoy it. We certainly enjoyed it, though it was toned down from previous years. We didn't have the entire family with us this year. Some of the family was sick and some were invited elsewhere or had something else going … Continue reading Fourth – Family – Fireworks
Friday Photo Flashback
Happy 249th Birthday, America!! Every year I have put little flags up around our yard on the Fourth of July. Over the winter, the box must have fallen off a shelf in the garage. While cleaning the garage I found that box with my flags in it and it must have gotten wet. Those darn … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Life’s Little Moments
Update: They finally came and picked up the dryer we've been trying to send back. Now we have to wait for them to refund the money so we can purchase the correct dryer. In the meantime, there have been a lot of laundromat trips. Andrew came to the laundromat with me one day this week. … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
Happy 18th Birthday!
18 years ago today, I became a father for a second time, when my son, Dimitri, was born. It is truly amazing to watch them grow from this..... ....to this.... "Don't Blink" they say. True words. He was always a bit more athletic than my oldest son. He loved to play T-ball, and I got … Continue reading Happy 18th Birthday!
Father’s Day
Happy Father's Day to my "Dad" friends! I hope you are being celebrated today. Andrew and Ella couldn't wait for today, so they gave me my gifts yesterday. When they got up today and Sam reminded them that it was Father's Day, Ella said, "That was yesterday." Ever since, she has referred to yesterday as … Continue reading Father’s Day
Moments To Remember
I have mentioned how messes raise my anxiety levels. When the kids are playing in slime, or with play dough, or painting I am anxiously awaiting the mess. They have a sandbox that they love to play in. Naturally, the sand winds up on the side porch, in their shoes, on the driveway, in the … Continue reading Moments To Remember
Life’s Little Moments
On Friday of last week, we had temperatures in the mid to upper 70's. On Saturday, they were in the upper 30's and low 40's. There was also a lot of wind, so it felt colder than that. This was the first day of soccer for Andrew and me. He was so excited that I … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
Friday Photo Flashback
Today's photos are not only a flashback, but they tie into a current situation as well. You may remember that last fall, Andrew was playing soccer. I say "playing soccer," but it is more of a game oriented introduction to the game. There were days that he loved playing and days that he hated playing. … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
